Muqtada As-Sadr Accuses US Of Being Behind Baghdad Bombings
Jul 20, 2005
By Muhammad Abu Nasr, Free Arab Voice; Edited For Publication By JUS
Muqtada as-Sadr's movement has accused the US of being behind the massacre in Baghdad in al-Jadidah and al-Musayyib districts that left large numbers of children and civilians dead, in a statement issued by As-Sadr's office on Tuesday.
The Office of the Martyr as-Sadr, the movement headed by Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr, issued a statement on Tuesday in which it accused the US occupation forces and their stooges of being behind the massacre in Baghdad al-Jadidah that took place on Wednesday, 13 July, in which 32 Iraqi children were killed, and the bombing at a fuel station that killed dozens more civilians in al-Musayyib on Saturday, 16 July.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the statement issued at midday Tuesday by the as-Sadr office said:
Regarding the massacre that occurred in the Baghdad al-Jadidah area in the eastern part of the capital Baghdad last Wednesday in which a bombing took the lives of 32 Iraqi children, involved in it were the hands of the American occupation and its collaborators who then accused what the occupation and its stooges called terrorists of being responsible. We confirm that the American occupation in Iraq and its collaborators are the real killers of the Iraqi children and civilians in al-Musayyib and in Baghdad in the last few days.
The statement went on:
The occupations aim in this is to destabilize the security situation to provide itself with an excuse and justification for continuing to storm cities, killing and driving people out of their homes and destroying their infrastructures, all in order to prolong the period of their presence on Iraqi soil.
The website Mafkarat al-Islam already published a report on Saturday in which witnesses indicated that the US occupation forces were directly responsible for the Baghdad al-Jadidah bombing. In addition, the Board of Muslim Ulama [Scholars], the highest Sunni religious authority in occupied Iraq accused the US of being responsible for the attack, as did the Shii al-Khalisi movement and a number of Iraqi politicians opposed to the occupation, following statements from the Iraqi Resistance saying that they had nothing to do with the attack and condemning the bombing.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that opponents of the occupation regard the Tuesday statement by Muqtada as-Sadrs movement as being a major factor in heading off efforts by the occupation and its supporters to spark sectarian warfare within Iraq in keeping with plans by the occupation to divide and rule.

U.S. forces behind deadly children bomb: Iraqi experts
7/18/2005 11:00:00 PM GMT
Iraqi experts are saying that the recent car bomb that killed some 18 children was not the work of the anti-occupation fighters but of the U.S. occupation troops.
A traffic lieutenant who asked not to be identified said to a media source that U.S. solders crazily raced out of the street less than a minute before the explosion and that after the blast they did not return to the bomb scene but continued to hurry out of the area.
Furthermore, a captain in the fire department said the explosion was extremely powerful and left a big crater in the earth something that other car bombs do not do. The captain stated that this was because the bombs used by the Iraqi resistance are made from Russian-made TNT that was in the possession of the Army of the Republic of Iraq before the U.S. occupation.
According to the captain former soldiers are very familiar with the effects of such explosives, and know that during an explosion it blows upwards, not downwards, and for this reason U.S. forces prohibit the taking of photographs from the scenes of attacks where the effects of explosions are obvious.
When the fire captain was asked to clarify his remarks and whether he was accusing the Americans of setting the blast, he replied, The Traffic Stop Director for the area, Ahmad Kamal was fired because of his statement one hour after the explosion in which he said the U.S. forces were behind the blast. This was regarded as an irresponsible statement by him and attributed to the fact that he had lost control of himself and had a breakdown after the bombing and to the fact that he is a Sunni and does not want to believe that what is happening in Iraq is terrorism.
